Symbology on Multiple Attributes

  • 410
    Points
  • I cannot effectively display Multiple Attributes based on two fields. One using graduated symbols while the other uses graduated colors. 

    The first screenshot (screenshot.jpg) are the results I get in Arcmap.

    The second image (ArcGIS_Idea) are the results I expect to get.

Please use the Ideas site to document ideas and not just to ask for help or support questions.  The http://mappingcenter.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=ask.gateway "Ask a Cartopgrapher" site was a good place to look for help on topics like symbolgy techniques.  It is currently not accepting new questions and I did not see any answers how to symbolize by combined graduated symbols and colors.  Seems like this IDEA is a good one to still consider. Good example of USGS earthquake symbols by magnitude (as symbol size) then by depth (as color range).

This is a simple but incredibly powerful symbolization enhancement that cartographers have been asking for for years. Actually, I just discovered this Ideas area, and was just going to ask for the same thing.

Thanks for the comments everyone. It's helpful to hear and see others requirements as well. I agree ridgetownrick...I find it very frustrating as well. Hopefully we can this seemingly simple enhancement done.

multiattribute legendFurther to my comments from this morning, here is an image of what would be useful in my case...

I have a point layer that I'd like to display with a two attribute legend. One attribute would be numeric, with point size varying according to value. Easy to do. The other attribute is a yes, no, so I'd like to ALSO vary the points by colour. Very frustrating that such an obvious thing has not been done.

This would greatly help trying to mimic how the USGS symbolizes there Earthquakes. First by Magnitude (symbol size) then by Depth (color).

Please put this in ArcGIS 10 at least! Even better would be a patch to help those still using 9.x!
